DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
Follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E in the USA, or applicable local codes. This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualied electrical personnel. Read, understand and follow the instructions before installing this product. Turn o all power supplying equipment before working on or inside the equipment. Use a properly rated voltage sensing device to conrm power is o. DO NOT DEPEND ON THIS PRODUCT FOR VOLTAGE INDICATION Only install this product on insulated conductors.

quick install
1. Plan the installation: Locate a mounting surface for the removable mounting bracket that will allow the monitored conductor to pass through the iris, or window when it is installed and keep the product at least 1/2 from any uninsulated conductors (CE). Determine cable routing for the controller connection, allowing wiring to reach the mounting location. 2. Drill holes to mount the bracket to the chosen surface using the included screws. 3. Wire the output connections between the sensor and the controller (solid-state contact). 4. Snap the sensor over the wire to be monitored and push the latch until it is securely closed. Clip the assembly to the mounting bracket. 5. Close up and power up.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE
This product is not intended for life or safety applications. Do not install this product in hazardous or classied locations. The installer is responsible for conformance to all applicable codes. Mount this product inside a suitable re and electrical enclosure.

H300

INSTALLATION GUIDE

opEration
The H300 is a current-sensitive switching device which monitors current (amperage) in the conductor passing through it. A change in amperage in the monitored conductor which crosses the switch threshold will cause the resistance of the FET status output to change state, similar to the action of a mechanical switch. In this model, the threshold is fixed at 150mA AC max. The status output is suitable for connection to building controllers, or other appropriate data acquisition equipment operating at up to 30 volts. The H300 requires no external power supply to generate its output.

troublEshooting
Problem
No Reading at Controller

Solution
Check for control voltage at sensor (<30V) Check for amperage in monitored conductor (> 0.15A) Assure that sensor core mating surfaces are clean and that the core clamp is completely closed

notEs
For load currents greater than sensor maximum rating: Use a 5 Amp (H68xx series) Current Transformer (CT) as shown.
240A

> 60A (Sensor max.)

300A:5A

H68xx5A

DANGER: 5A CTs can present hazardous voltages. Install CTs in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Terminate the CT secondary before applying current.

CAUTION
Derate the products maximum current for the number of turns through the sensing window using the following formula.

RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Rated Max. Amps Number of Turns = Max. monitored Amps e.g. : 100A 4 Turns = 25 Amps max. in monitored conductor
Failure to follow these instructions can result in overheating and permanent equipment damage.

For load currents less than sensor minimum rating: Wrap the monitored conductor through the center hole and around the sensor body to produce multiple turns through the "window." This increases the current measured by the transducer.
<0.15 A (Sensor min.)
0.1A

Controller must be programmed to account for the extra turns. e.g., if four turns pass through the sensor (as shown) the normal threshold current must be divided by 4.
